December 7, 2025 Sunday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Marilyn and Team R&B💕

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:08 to 2:06 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

Initially up near the cliff at the back of the middle of LPB was an Adult Male: small adult size, brownish gray coat, light brown make belly, two red tags. He later moved in the Lanikai direction and moved into a depression in LPB where there were other seals.

At the edge of the same depression were two seals before the AM joined them.

Closest to the Lanikai side of the depression was RQ32: sub-adult to adult size, newer coat, and Marilyn thinks the applied N on the left hip. This seal later moved near the LPB surge channel and Marilyn never go a ventral view or flipper view.

An Unknown Unknown was also in the depression: probably sub-adult size, brownish coat with a tan ventral, no info on sex or tags. The UU was joined by the AM and at that point Marilyn didn't know

which was which.

Between 3BS and SRI were two seals:

RU38: weaner size, older coat, yellow female belly and two tags.

Initially near the waterline was N32: adult size, presumed male, N32 and girdle bleach seen on the left side, no tags seen.

Later RU38 moved closer to N32. 

The third pair of nesting Masked Boobies has a chick who is at least a week old, but today was the first time Marilyn got photos.

When Team R&B first got out there were no seals to be seen. They

waited around for a while and while watching a bird diving for fish, they spotted a seal coming in.  It was RH76 Kala, she surfed right in and the waves flipped her over. Then she just hauled up on the rocks.

Then they spotted Nalu R3CX out there foraging alone. They watched and there weren't any other seals foraging out there today.

They were checking out Kahe when they saw a big seal, thinking it was a female because it was so big. Then the seal moved and it was a male, it was big boy RH32 Kaale. He has been getting some good eats!

Over by the outfall there were three seals foraging again. They first ID'd RH48 Lei Ola, next seen was RM31 Kai. The third seal with the cc scars might be RL08.

Heading over to plains, once again they found the lovely Miss Aukai RL12. Her tags are old and hard to read in the sand. But they knew it was her.

Team R&B made one last check at pokai. They found Kala was still there, now on the edge of the rocks. All was good. They also spotted Nalu out there still foraging.

November 5, 2025 Friday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Marilyn and Team R&B💕

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:44 am to 1:53 pm and there were three seals seen during that time.

About 50 feet Makapuu of the 1BS was RK24 Bruno: adult size, gray male belly, two red tags. lower lip scar. Marilyn only saw his ventral and left side. His N33 bleach was applied to his right side, so we have to wait to see if the bleach worked.

Between 3BS and SRI were two seals:

RQ32: small adult or large sub-adult size, light female belly, scar on right side of face, no info on tags. Her applied N bleach was on her left hip.

N32: adult size, medium gray coat, male and N32 applied bleach readable on the seals right side, blurry with backward N on left side. Hopefully NOAA can get an ID on this seal from the photos they took yesterday.

Team R&B thought they were going to have another slow day, until they spotted a seal hurrying onto the area, then they lost sight of it. They hung out for an hour and finally they noticed the seal landing at rest-camp side by the cabins. They were able to ID Nalu R3CX.

Once again they spotted three seals foraging at the outfall area. There were a couple of surfers out there as well. Team R&B were able to ID one of the seals as Lei Ola RH48.  One of the seals was an adult with a scar on the left side of its face. The seal was reported as an Unknown Adult. The last one they saw was also an adult with a clean coat, not sure about tags. Also reported as an Unknown Adult.

Next they decided to check out plains and was happy to find a seal on shore. Resting in a zone alone was the royal lady RL12 Aukai.  While

watching over Aukai Team R&B saw a Sandpiper land on shore.

Their last critter of the day was a handsome male, no tags, clean coat in excellent condition. They certainly have a sense of humor.
